Daya Posted About National Coming Out Day and Identifying As Bisexual on Instagram

"One day late but happy 1st national coming out day to me!"

Singer Daya celebrated her first ever coming out day this year, posting about her relationship and identity on Instagram.

In a post on October 12, the day after National Coming Out Day, Daya wrote on Instagram that she's proud to be bisexual, and has received a ton of support since coming out. According to Billboard, Daya came out earlier this year during a performance at Milwaukee Pride.

"One day late but happy 1st national coming out day to me! what a crazy thing! all i gotta say is follow your gut and don’t feel like you owe any sort of explanation to anyone. your sexuality is yours only so build with it at a pace that works for you. i’m proud to be a bisexual member of the LGBTQ community with a girl i love who makes me feel more like me every day," Daya wrote.

While Coming Out Day can be a joyous experience and celebration for many, Daya is right in acknowledging that there should be no pressure to come out if you're not ready to or don't feel safe doing so. She said she's experienced a lot of support since coming out, but she also wrote that's not the case for everyone.

"The support has been beyond and though it wasn’t always easy i also recognize how privileged i am to have had so much of it, so i especially wanna be there for those of u who aren’t surrounded by the most accepting family/friends/communities. stay authentic, talk thru it with people u trust, know you’re loved and that i’m thinking of u," she wrote. "Thats my long post of the month love yall be gay be free be wild n love lots xo."
